Law panel to
discuss career
alternatives

SYRACUSE 49 | WEST VIRGINIA 23

DEJA ‘CUSE
“We knew what we were getting ourselves into. They beat us today on all three sides of the ball.
They outplayed us and outcoached us. It’s as simple as that.”
— West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen

The West Virginia University College of Law
and the Women’s Law Caucus will host a panel
discussion today at noon in the Davis Gallery
that will offer alternative career options for students pursuing a law degree.
Jennifer Powell, assistant dean for Career
Services, said the event will encourage students to “actively investigate” all of their employment options in and around the legal field
through the use of self-exploration and personal interest.
“We have a number of students who are interested in exploring how they can use their
law degree to obtain other professional positions,” Powell said. “Law students possess a
number of skills that can easily be translated
into other careers, including excellent analytical skills, strong research skills and the ability
to communicate persuasively.”
The panel will feature a variety of speakers
who hold law degrees from Jodi Cunningham,
sales executive for LexisNexis, to Anna Carrier,
owner of The Cupcakerie.
“Students will have the opportunity to hear
from law graduates who are working in a number of different fields to learn how those graduates either successfully transitioned or began
alternative careers after graduating from law
school,” Powell said.
“We hope the variety of alternative careers presented will give students a number
of interesting examples to learn how those
panelists came to choose the careers they
have. Students typically like these types of
panels, as they give real life examples of career choices and transformation.”

October is American Pharmacists Month,
and for West Virginia University pharmacy students, that means a month full of guest speakers, informative lectures and other activities
following this year’s theme of “Know Your
Medicine, Know Your Pharmacist”.
“One of the main purposes of Pharmacy
Month is to make people aware so that they
speak with their pharmacist about their medications and ask any medication questions that
they may have,” said Amy Newton, director of
public relations and alumni affairs for the WVU
School of Pharmacy.
“Pharmacy month is an opportunity to promote our profession and celebrate pharmacists
in all areas of pharmacy,” said pharmacy student Cory Weaver.
Weaver and Sarah Grubb are pharmacy students who have organized events from an inter-class flag football tournament, to a Bartlett
House canned food drive across campus to
promote Pharmacy Month.
“The flag football tournament gives everyone an opportunity to make friends between
classes and escape from the stress of school
and exams,” Weaver said.
An American Society of Health-System
Pharmacists Clinical Skills Competition was
also held, which acted as an interactive, teambased competition of the pharmacy students’
skills.

English professor conducts study on linguistic patterns of Appalachia
by lydia nuzum

associate city editor

A team of graduate student
researchers led by West Virginia
University Professor Kirk Hazen
have received a $239,742 grant
to study sociolinguistic patterns
in the Appalachian region.
Hazen, a professor in the
WVU Department of English
and director of the West Virginia
Dialect Project, served as a professor at North Carolina State

University, where he helped
contribute to the North Carolina Language and Life Project,
which gathered research information on the language varieties and related cultural traditions of the state.
“That was a big effort to help
preserve some of the rich heritage of the state and to teach
people about how language
works,” Hazen said.” When I
came to WVU, I hoped to start
something very similar.”

The West Virginia Dialect
Project began in 1998 as an effort to understand language
variation in Appalachia.
Hazen said the project collects qualitative data, including personal interviews and attempts to analyze the language
of contemporary Appalachia.
“A number of traditional dialect features that were stigmatized have declined since World
War II,” Hazen said. “Ones that
are not socially noticed have not

declined at all. We’ve managed
to draw a number of conclusions on how things are changing or not changing.”
Hazen said a more scientifically geared research project
began in 2007 to understand dialect changes in the region.
The current grant awarded
through the National Science
Foundation will go to this research, he said, which is a 12-year
project conducted in three stages.
The first stage of the proj-

ect, which involved conducting a number of oral interviews
with native West Virginians, has
been completed.
The project is now in its second stage.
“The second stage is more
about acoustically analyzing the
sounds produced and trying to
fit the different dialect regions
of West Virginia into the larger
national map,” Hazen said.
Hazen said that after the initial project, he hopes to even-

tually gather data from each
county in West Virginia.
“Someday we hope to gather
people from every county in order to have an even distribution,” Hazen said. “Right now,
we have people from the northern part of the state and from
the southern part of the state, so
we’ve been able to make a geographic distinction, but nothing

Torch cams to give masses views from Lady Liberty
NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Give me
your tired, your poor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your
Internet-connected masses
yearning to see. Lady Liberty is
getting high-tech gifts for her
125th birthday: webcams on
her torch that will let viewers
gaze out at New York Harbor
and read the tablet in her hands
or see visitors on the grounds of
the island below in real time.
The five torch cams are to
be switched on Friday during
a ceremony to commemorate
the dedication of the Statue
of Liberty on Oct. 28, 1886.
The ceremony caps a week of
events centered around the historic date, including the debut
of a major museum exhibition
about poet Emma Lazarus, who
helped bring the monument renown as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mother of Exiles.â&#x20AC;?
The statueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s webcams will
offer views from the torch that
have been unavailable to the
public since 1916, said Stephen A. Briganti, the president
of the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation Inc.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The statue is the most famous symbol in the world,â&#x20AC;?
he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the people in
the world have seen it, but they
have not seen it like this. It will
be a visit that so many people,
including New Yorkers, have
never taken before.â&#x20AC;?
Through the webcams, Internet users around the world
will have four views, including a high-quality, 180-degree
stitched panorama of the harbor with stunning views of Ellis and Governors islands. They
will be able to watch as ships
go by Liberty Island and ob-

serve as the Freedom Tower at
the World Trade Center goes up
floor-by-floor in lower Manhattan. They can get a fish-eye look
at the torch itself as it glows in
the night.
The five cameras, which will
be on 24 hours, seven days a
week, were donated to the National Park Service by Earthcam Inc., a New Jersey-based
company that manages webcams around the world.
The cameras put viewers on
the balcony of the torch and
high above the crown, said
Brian Cury, the founder of
Earthcam.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not your dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picture of the Statue of Liberty,â&#x20AC;? he
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a view from
a tourist helicopter. This is
unique.â&#x20AC;?
Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceremony also will
be marked by a water flotilla,
actress Sigourney Weaver reading Lazarusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poem and a naturalization ceremony for 125
candidates for citizenship representing over 40 countries.
The public is invited to attend the ceremony, with ferry
service available between Manhattan and Liberty Island. The
interior of the statue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the
pedestal down to the museum
base â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will close after the 125th
celebration for up to a year so
that stairwells, elevators and
mechanical systems can be upgraded. The park itself will remain open to visitors.

sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, was given by the French
government to the U.S. as a token of friendship between the

Hazenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies focus on
linguistics, which is the scientific study of language; including its forms, meaning
and context.

Gretchen Garofoli, clinical assistant professor for the
WVU Department of Clinical
Pharmacy, said the monthlong celebration gives the
community an inside look at
what pharmacists strive to
do through their careers.

And while today it is known
as a symbol of liberty for millions of refugees and exiles, initially the famous sonnet by Lazarus in the voice
of the statue asking for â&#x20AC;&#x153;your
tired, your poor, your huddled
masses yearning to breathe

statue. It was not until 1903 that
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The New Colossusâ&#x20AC;? was placed
on the pedestal.
Lazarus is the subject of a
new exhibit at the Museum of
Jewish Heritage in lower Manhattan, which has views of Lady
Liberty. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to open Wednesday
to coincide with the anniversary of the statueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication.
Curator Melissa Martens
said Lazarus was born into the
fourth generation of a Jewish
family in New York prominent
since colonial times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They
were some of the early people
to articulate the Jewish experience in dialogue with the challenges of freedom and religious
liberty,â&#x20AC;? she said.
Featuring over 83 original
objects from 27 institutions
and individuals, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poet of Exilesâ&#x20AC;? is the first full-fledged artifact exhibit at a major museum
to robustly explore the life of
Lazarus, from her work as an
advocate for immigrants fleeing the Russian pogroms of the
early 1880s to her pioneering
support for a Jewish homeland.
Lazarus died in 1887 at age
38 from Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease,
never having known her poem

Morgantown Mall at the
end of September,â&#x20AC;? Garofoli
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of different services that we offered
there. We did blood glucose screenings, cholesterol
screenings and blood pressure screenings.â&#x20AC;?

Jerry West grew up in Chelyan, a town of several
hundred in southern West Virginia. He describes
himself as shy and introverted growing up, as well as
determined to play basketball.
He led the West Virginia University basketball team in
one of its most successful times, became an Olympic
Gold medalist, and then the symbol of the National
Basketball Association as he thrived on the court as a
player and off as a coach and general manager.
But, he says, there were torments and dark days, as
there so often are in the lives of the talented.
West will sit down and discuss with his alma mater
what it was like when the sun shined on him and when
its rays were absent from his life.
Called a confession and painful by reviewers, Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

man who entranced the American sports world for
years.
This event is free and open to the public. No tickets
are required. Copies of the book will be on sale at the
event through the WVU Barnes & Noble Bookstore.
Books signed are limited to 2 per person. No other

San Francisco uses complex rankvote system in mayoral race
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Karla
Jones knows that voting in the
upcoming election for San
Francisco mayor wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as
simple as completing the arrow
next to one name. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to
pick a first, second and thirdchoice candidate.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more choices to make
and now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get to
know three of them,â&#x20AC;? Jones said
on the first day City Hall opened
for early voting in the Nov. 8
election for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor, district attorney and sheriff.
Jones was there to pick up
some brochures that explain
the ranked-choice voting system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also known as the instant
runoff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so she could better understand the process before returning to cast her vote.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the city in terms
of cost, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder on the
voter,â&#x20AC;? Jones said with a sigh.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go home and study
now.â&#x20AC;?
Some two dozen cities across
the country have adopted or are
considering ranked-choice as
a means to curb costly runoffs
and widen the candidate field,
including Minneapolis, Portland, Maine, Telluride, Colo.,
Santa Fe, N.M., and Memphis,
Tenn.
San Franciscans adopted it

Powell said by learning from
personal real world stories,
students will not only have the
chance to consider their options, but have the opportunity to design a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plan Bâ&#x20AC;? if they
were to ever have a change of
heart.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students will likely learn
that there are a number of
lawyers who are dissatisfied with the practice of law,â&#x20AC;?

by proposition in 2002, hoping
to save an estimated $15 million
in runoff costs over 10 years.
But this is the first competitive election in which it could
make a difference in the final tabulation. Former Mayor
Gavin Newsom won re-election
in 2007 with more than 70 percent of the vote, eliminating any
need to start counting secondand third-choice votes.
Mayor Ed Lee, the city administrator who became interim mayor in January when
Newsom was elected lieutenant-governor, is the frontrunner in all the polls. If he wins,
Lee would become the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
first Asian-American mayor.
With the backing of two of San
Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former mayors, Willie Brown and U.S. Sen. Dianne
Feinstein, as well as Chinatown
powerbroker Rose Pak, he is the
man to beat.
Yet Lee must have 50 percent-plus-one vote to take command of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacular
beaux-arts seat of power. If he
doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, the ranked-choice system kicks in.
Voters are allowed to select
up to three candidates for a single office. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice
selections, the last-place can-

didate is eliminated and voters
who chose that candidate have
their votes transferred to their
second-choice candidate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a
process that repeats until one
candidate receives more than
50 percent.
To win under such a system,
the winning candidate needs to
have both a strong core of support to bring in top rankings
and a broad base of support to
secure enough No. 2 and No. 3
spots.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;RCV is very empowering
as it gives the voters the ultimate say as to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to them: It could be ethnicity, it could be the environment
or development,â&#x20AC;? said Gautam Dutta, an election lawyer
who specializes in the system.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely liberating. It
puts a lot of power in the hands
of the voters.â&#x20AC;?
Joanna Rees, one of 16 mayoral candidates, is a City Hall
outsider without a big machine
behind her.
The tiered system, however,
could allow the venture capitalist to move up the ranks if
she gets enough No. 2 or No. 3
votes in subsequent rounds of
tabulation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one reason sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
knocked on some 270,000 doors
since January.

Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope this
panel will give those students
some information about how
they can make smart career choices for themselves
to avoid such dissatisfaction
and help them identify alternatives if they later become
dissatisfied with the practice
of law.â&#x20AC;?
WVU Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law Caucus President Kayde Cappellari said though the event is
open to all students and has
a central goal of addressing
issues concerning the strug-

gling job market, it will especially focus on women in the
field.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an event that was
created due to the increased
talk among students about the
job market and what students
are going to do after graduation,â&#x20AC;? Cappellari said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The panelists are all
women by design. The event
is geared to address the concerns, issues and successes
that women have had in their
career choices with a law degree. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for women
to hear and understand what
an opportunity it is to have a
law degree and how they can
capitalize on their degree from
other women that have done
just that.â&#x20AC;?
Cappellari said she hopes
the event will open the minds
of students and help them become more optimistic about
their future.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a need to
allow people to see that there
are more choices than the obvious one. To study law is more
than just becoming a good trial
lawyer or a good fit for a law
firm. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about becoming leaders through an intimate understanding of how the laws that
guide and protect our country
work,â&#x20AC;? she said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This knowledge translates
into many opportunities for
law students and lawyers. Often, though, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to see
the trees for the forest, unless
someone points them out.â&#x20AC;?

National touring comedians
Troy Hammond and Chris Cohen had students in hysterics
during WVUp All Night’s Comedy Caravan in the Side Pocket
of the Mountainlair at West Virginia University Thursday.
Hammond, who is known
as the galaxy’s funniest blind
guy, and Cohen, who hopes to
become famous in the next six
decades, are both from Columbus, Ohio.
The Comedy Caravan takes
place once a month for WVUp
All Night on Thursday nights.
“They were so funny. I think
they are one of the best so far,”
said Corey Hartman, a junior
pre-medical laboratory science
student at WVU.
Cohen’s routine included
jokes about America’s holiday

traditions, being white trash,
his family and Justin Bieber.
The common theme of
drinking supported most of
his jokes, which students didn’t
seem to mind, as they enjoyed
beers alongside Cohen.
Hartman said Cohen was
very suitable for a college
crowd because of all the dirty
humor.
“What a nice smelling
group,” Hammond said.
When Hammond took the
stage, he said it was good to be
back at WVU.
“I like to perform at colleges,
because you people can keep
up,” Hammond said.
The comedian – who was
well aware he looked like Ozzy
Osbourne at a Jimmy Buffet
show – told the audience he
went blind from glaucoma in
1986. He said being a traveling
comedian has been a great way

to experience America.
Hammond has performed
alongside such acts as Dave
Chappelle and Drew Carey.
When he is not on stage making people laugh, the multitalented comedian is a motivational speaker, actor and writer.
“I love that he was kind of a
hippie. He would be good for
all ages; anyone would find
him funny,” Hartman said.
Hammond, who has spent
two-thirds of his life totally
blind, had no problem making
jokes at his own expense. His
material about the Monica Lewinsky scandal had the crowd
cracking up.
“The media painted such
a vivid picture, I could see it,”
Hammond said.
He also shared experiences
with dating and relationships.
“I was stuck on a blind date
once and, boy, was she sur-

prised,” Hammond said.
The audience erupted in
laughter over these punch lines
and many more, giving Hammond a sense of gratitude.
He said it is weird having
people actually pay attention,
especially when there is no
cover charge.
“I am not used to people being this polite,” Hammond said.
He went on to share stories
of his mishaps and wacky adventures touring the U.S. as a
blind comedian.
Hammond wrapped up his
act with a bit of advice for WVU
students to take home.
“It’s not that hard to treat
people the way you want to be
treated,” he said.
The next WVUp All Night
Comedy Caravan is scheduled
for Nov. 10.

Comedians Chris Cohen and Troy Hammond (above) entertained students at the Mountainlair’s Side Pocket at WVUp All Night Friday.

Local band The Greens
headlined a benefit concert to
promote the nonprofit organization Amizade Friday night
at the Morgantown Brewing
Company.
The occasion was also a
celebration of Amizade’s 17th
birthday. Appetizers were provided by Amizade.
Amizade means “friendship” in Portuguese.
It is a global service-learning and volunteer organization that connects students
and faculty all over the world.

“We’re celebrating our biggest year ever. Over 500 students were placed, with more
West Virginia University students than any other school,”
said Brandon Blache-Cohen
executive director of Amizade.
Local acoustic band Room
217 opened the show.
They covered a variety of
popular songs such as Old
Crow Medicine Show’s “Wagon
Wheel,” Sublime’s “What I
Got” and of course John Denver’s “Country Roads” as well
as a few originals.
Chloe Detrick, a junior
public relations student at
WVU and intern for Amizade,

said both Room 217 and The
Greens were really excited to
play pro bono for the event.
“The Greens bring a lot of
people in, so we were really
excited to have them,” Detrick
said.
The goal of the benefit concert was not so much for fundraising, but to raise awareness about the organization
around the WVU campus, Detrick said.
“It’s amazing; we try so
much to get our name out
there, it’s surprising when
people haven’t heard of us,”
Blache-Cohen said.
The Greens, a high-energy

rock band with upbeat jazz infusions took the stage.
They began their performance as a power trio, but
were joined shortly after by
two trombones and a saxophone player.
“They have an awesome
sound,” said Trey Goff Service learning coordinator for
Amizade.
The Greens played mostly
original songs. Their songs
had big instrumental buildups played with impressive
speed that got the crowd dancing. Loyal fans in the front of
the dance floor were blown
away by The Greens’ power-

ful rhythms.
According to Goff, Amizade
is about to place their 5,000th
volunteer and has logged over
150,000 hours of community
service.
Jana Blach, a second year
WVU graduate student majoring in French, said Amizade
has opened her eyes to what
types of study abroad programs are out there.
“It’s amazing, because it
gives you so much more of a
unique, personal experience,”
Blach said. “It made me realize
there is a lot more to this word
than basic study abroad.”
Amizade partners with nine

non-traditional study abroad
countries including Bolivia,
Tanzania, Ghana, Jamaica,
Brazil, Mexico and Poland.
Students can earn course
credits through the study
abroad trips, but you don’t
have to be a student to travel
abroad with Amizade.
To learn more about Amizade, visit www.amizade.org,
or stop by the office, located in
Stansbury Hall, on the Downtown WVU campus.
Judging by the Brew Pub’s
packed house, the benefit concert was a great success.

‘Paranormal Activity 3’ scares up record $54 million debut this weekend
LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Paranormal Activity 3” didn’t just
go bump in the night. It made
a ton of noise at the box office
with a record-setting, $54 million opening.
The third film in Paramount
Pictures’ low-budget fright
franchise, which was No. 1 at
the box office, had the biggest
debut ever for a horror movie,
according to Sunday studio estimates. It broke the previous
record part two set a year ago
with $40.7 million. It’s also the
biggest opening ever for an
October release, topping the
$50.35 million Paramount’s
“Jackass 3D” made last year.
“Paranormal Activity 3” is
actually a prequel, with the
discovery of disturbing homemovie footage from 1988.
Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, who made the creepy
documentary “Catfish,” took

over directing duties this time.
Don Harris, Paramount’s
president of distribution, said
the studio hoped part three
would simply perform better
than part two. The first “Paranormal Activity,” with its reported $15,000 budget, became a phenomenon in 2009
through midnight screenings
and word of mouth.
Harris believes this installment did so well because it’s
actually the best movie of the
three. He noted that it appealed
to an older crowd, with 47 percent over the age of 25 compared to 40 percent for “Paranormal Activity 2.” Strong
reviews also helped, he said,
including a rave from Time
magazine. And fundamentally,
horror movies simply play better in a packed theater.
“Ultimately, it gets back to
why there’s still a theatrical

business, why people still go to
the movies,” Harris said. “We
want to laugh in a group, we
want to be scared in a group,
people like to cry in a group in
the dark where nobody can see
them crying. It’s all the reason
movie theaters exist and this
genre has always been front
and center.”
Paul Dergarabedian, boxoffice analyst for Hollywood.
com, said he was expecting
“Paranormal Activity 3” to
come in around $35 million for
the weekend, simply because
most newcomers have been
underperforming this fall.
“This brand is as solid as the
‘Twilight’ brand or the ‘Jackass’ brand. There are certain
brands that just transcend any
kind of box-office rhyme or reason. They just resonate,” Dergarabedian said. “These are shot

‘60s folk musicians Seeger,

NEW YORK (AP) — Folk music legend Pete Seeger and `60s
folk singer Arlo Guthrie joined
Occupy Wall Street demonstrators Friday in their campaign
against corporate greed while
residents near the protest park

Seeger joined in the Occupy Wall Street protest Friday
night, replacing his banjo with

Occupy Wall Street began a

one-third of the country supports the Wall Street protesters,
and even more 58 percent - say
they are furious about America’s politics.
But the encampment at Zuccotti Park has become more
than a tolerable nuisance,
some neighborhood residents
say. At a meeting Thursday,
they complained of protesters urinating in the streets and
beating drums in the middle of
the night. Some called for the

protesters to vacate the park.
The area’s community board
voted unanimously for a resolution that recognized the protesters’ First Amendment rights
while calling for a crackdown
on noise and public urination
and defecation.
U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler,
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer and state
Sen. Daniel Squadron said in
a statement that the resolution was “an attempt to establish a sensible framework that
respects the protesters’ fundamental rights while addressing
the very real quality of life concerns for residents and businesses around Zuccotti Park.”

Troops should also leave Afghanistan
President Barack Obama announced Friday that by year’s
end, all U.S. troops in Iraq will
come home.
While this announcement
serves as much-needed relief for many Americans, the
question remains: Why aren’t
troops being pulled out of
Afghanistan?
It is time for our government
to stop wasting valuable resources abroad while they are
needed at home.
Although President Obama
announced that troops in Af-

ghanistan will be out by December 2014, that isn’t soon
enough.
Too many Americans have
been killed and many more
injured, not to mention the
amount of tax dollars spent
during the wars.
According to the Center for
Defense Information, the total
cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars will have reached
$1.29 trillion by the end of this
year – enough is enough.
Some argue that pulling out
of Afghanistan would be disre-

spectable to the brave soldiers
who have lost their lives in the
conflict. But, now Osama bin
Laden, the man responsible
for the 9/11 attacks has been
killed, what other reason do we
have to remain there?
Sure, there may be terrorists
in the region who are training
and planning future attacks,
but spending billions of dollars a year on a “war on terror”
is just not a feasible way to stop
them.
By putting our country in
massive debt and weaken-

ing the financial stability of
our nation, the terrorists have
achieved a victory in some way.
It is now time to focus on the
home front.
Even if democracy could
be forced on other countries
(which it can’t), it isn’t the responsibility of the U.S. to ensure it. We cannot police the
world.
Afghan President Hamid
Karzai recently stated that if the
U.S. and Pakistan were to go to
war, the Afghani government
would support Pakistan. Pres-

ident Karzai’s comment blatantly tells the world of his distaste for American presence in
Afghanistan.
If the Afghans don’t want
us there, and the majority of
Americans don’t want us there,
then we should not be there.
Waiting until 2014 to pull
out our troops is unacceptable.
The conflict in Afghanistan is
already America’s longest war.
Let the Afghan people govern and police themselves.

Medical marijuana is a matter of state government
danielle faipler
columnist

Recently, federal prosecutors warned large-scale medical marijuana dispensaries in
California they would be shut
down for falsely claiming to
follow California regulations.
It is believed the dispensaries are taking advantage of
the sick and forcing users with
a legitimate medical need into
illegitimate business, while
users without serious medical conditions are the main
targets.
The goal of federal prosecutors is to ensure compliance with the federal government’s Controlled Substances
Act, which categorizes drugs
into five schedules based on
their medicinal value, potential for abuse and level of safeness. Marijuana is in schedule
one, which categorizes drugs
with the potential for the most
abuse and the least amount of
medicinal value.
A study conducted by the
Institute of Medicine has
shown that the active components in marijuana are effectual in the treatment of
pain, nausea, vomiting, cancer/AIDs-related diseases and
loss of appetite. Also the drug
has shown effective in reducing eye pressure for patients
with glaucoma, all of which
disproves the claim that marijuana has no medicinal value.
Even though the federal
government wants to protect
the rights of sickly patients and
control the use and distribution of marijuana, the conduct of dispensaries should
be a matter of state and local
government.
The federal government
should back off until the use
and distribution of marijuana
seriously affects California
economically and civilly. But,
under the U.S. Constitution,
California should tighten reg-

ulations of dispensaries to
comply with the Controlled
Substances Act.
The case at hand deals with
the discrepancies between
the state and federal governments. Under the Constitution, the federal government is
superior to state and local governments. State governments
are treated as administrative
agents, serving the goals of the
federal government.
For this reason, California
has to serve the federal government’s Controlled Substances Act before they can
serve Proposition 215, which
is the law exempting doctors
and patients from marijuana
prohibition laws in the state of
California.
With the passing of this law
in 1996, dispensaries emerged
where marijuana-prescribed
patients could have access to
the drug, and due to the fact
that marijuana is a cash crop,
it was only a matter of time before for-profit dispensaries became involved in the market.
California should limit
where dispensaries should
be located to restrict access
to underage persons, such as
away from neighborhoods and
school zones, and limit the
size of dispensaries. Advertisement of dispensaries cannot be regulated unless proven
to intentionally cause chaos in
the area the dispensary is located, due to the first amendment of the Bill of Rights.
If California makes an effort
to control marijuana, the federal government should not
have any reason to step in,
unless seriously needed due
to an increased crime rate
and downturn in California’s
economy.
The Los Angeles Times
found reported crime rates
were actually lower around
marijuana dispensaries.
A Santa Monica-based research organization shut
down marijuana dispensaries
and found that the crime rate
was higher than when dispensaries were open. There was a

ap

A family walks past a closed down medical marijuana dispensary in Los Angeles.
59 percent increase in crime
within three-tenths of a mile of
a dispensary, and within sixtenths of a mile, there was a
24 percent increase in crime.
Researchers acknowledge a
margin of error in the study,
but the study indicates further
investigation of dispensaries is
needed to determine whether
security measures making it
safe for patients to obtain mar-

ijuana benefits the community
as well.
The sale of marijuana is
also predicted to help California’s economy, not hinder
it. Marijuana is the number
one cash crop in California,
followed by grapes. The state
brings in an estimated $7.3 billion a year, and $200 million
comes from sales tax on medical marijuana.

If the federal government
continues to raid or shut
down medical marijuana dispensaries, ill patients will be
tempted to partake in illegal
dealings, because it would allow them easier access to the
drug. It is their right to have
legal access to something that
is legally theirs. Every other
business in America is entitled to this – the medical mar-

ijuana business should not be
excluded.
If the federal government
was truly concerned with protecting the rights of sick patients, it would require California to adhere to the Controlled
Substances Act and impose
stricter rules on dispensaries
before trying to shut down
only the ones making $15 million in eight months.

Global warming should still be a topic for discussion
miriam geronimus
the daily princetonian
uwire

In a recent New York Times
article, environmental journalist Elisabeth Rosenthal asked,
“Where did global warming
go?” It is the question of a confused and frustrated person
who was hopeful about climate
change mitigation in 2008 but
has lately become more pessimistic. In many ways, her feelings echo mine.
Both politicians and the
public seem less concerned
with climate change than they
were three years ago, and governmental action seems unlikely in the near future.
While this can partially be
attributed to the powerful fossil-fuel lobby and the economic recession, I think a large
part of the problem stems from
the way we talk about climate
change.
Climate scientist and Princeton professor Robert Socolow

DA

addressed this in an essay published last month.
Socolow’s main claim to
fame in the climate world is a
2004 paper that argued that,
contrary to popular belief at
the time, it was possible to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions for the next 50 years using technologies we already
had.
Though no technology was
sufficient on its own, we could
achieve this goal if we combined seven technologies.
(Disclaimer: My thesis advisor,
Stephen Pacala, coauthored
this paper.)
Many climate scientists
and activists greeted this paper with excitement. Here was
a precise, doable plan for the
next 50 years.
Surely the government and
the public would take heed.
In his recent essay, Socolow
mused on why his paper failed
to galvanize action. Mainly he
sees this as a failure of communication, and I think there
is truth to what he says.
The current rhetoric is both
divisive and alienating. Many

skeptics refer to climate advocates (both scientists and activists) as global warming alarmists. Activists, on the other
hand, dismiss skeptics as climate deniers and idiots. Certainly, this is not a productive
way to have a conversation.
The thing is, both camps are
correct. There is uncertainty in
the science and as a result, climate models predict a variety
of possible future scenarios.
These scenarios include
both extremes – situations
where carbon emissions do not
have much environmental impact (for a while, that is) and
situations where the world spirals out of control with a fivemeter sea level rise by 2100,
massive drought and flooding,
human conflict over resources
and ultimately massive human
mortality.
More likely is a middle scenario, with significant harmful effects that are not of such
apocalyptic magnitudes. The
problem is, it is hard to predict exactly where the threshold levels are. We know that increased carbon dioxide levels

will have certain effects, we just
don’t know when exactly those
effects will materialize.
Scientists and activists seem
reticent to mention uncertainty or that the more stable
scenario is possible (though I
will add unlikely).
They fear that doing so
will lead to inaction. But,
rather than spurring action,
the “alarmist” approach has
opened the door for skeptics
to poke holes in the story and
to accuse climate scientists of
lying or distorting the data.
A different approach, as proposed by Socolow, would be
to present climate change as a
risk, rather than as a doomsday prophecy lurking around
the corner.
In doing so, scientists and
activists would acknowledge
that the scenario painted by
skeptics is plausible (in the
short term – at some point, our
emissions will catch up with
us), thus at least somewhat
neutralizing that argument.
Climate scientists and activists would seem reasonable and trustworthy rather

than extremist. And if we told
Americans that there is a small
chance greenhouse gas emissions might have little effect over the next 100 years,
an equally small chance that
these emissions could be catastrophic, and a big chance
that these emissions would
cause very severe (but not catastrophic) problems, I think
most would rather play it safe.
We could get past this stalemate of “he said, she said.”
But the issues addressed
by Socolow are not the only
problems with climate change
communication.
Part of the problem stems
from how we talk about the
environment more generally.
Climate change and environmentalist rhetoric often pits
humans against or outside
of the environment. We must
“save” the planet.
Though dramatic expressions may rouse some, I believe that this strategy is actually alienating to many. No one
wants to save the planet – or
even cute polar bears – if it is at
the expense of oneself or one’s

family.
No one wants to save the
planet by destroying the economy. Skeptics often warn that
our focus on climate change
distracts attention and resources from alleviating world
poverty.
But the truth is, we are part
of the system and our rhetoric and policy should both reflect that.
Alarmist scenarios are so
alarming because of how they
affect people and societies, not
merely because of how they
impact animals or plants.
If greenhouse gas emissions
continue to rise, the problems
of the developing world such as
drought, hunger, poverty and
conflict will only get worse.
As one of my EEB professors explains, the world is not
made up of ecosystems, it is
made up of social-ecological
systems in which we affect the
environment and the environment affects us. It is not us or
the environment. It is us and
the environment.
By saving the planet, we are
saving ourselves.

HOROSCOPES
BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
BORN TODAY This year you might
want to steer a steady ship, but the surprises keep coming. You will process your
feelings and learn to move through your
moods. It is from this constant flow that
you will find stability. Communication
sometimes is stilted, and you will learn to
become more effective. If you are single,
you might be attracted to someone who
is emotionally unavailable. Use care before getting involved. If you are attached,
the two of you benefit from plenty of
downtime together to nourish the bond.
LIBRA reads you cold.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH
Defer to others, knowing full well that
if there is a problem, you would prefer it
be someone else’s. Remain sensitive to a
boss or someone you look up to. Unpredictability and another person’s power
play could toss you out of kilter. Tonight:
Go with a suggestion.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Your
nerves could be fried due to many unexpected events. You wonder what the best
thing to do is under the circumstances.
You might want to analyze what is happening. Resist a knee-jerk reaction. Tonight: Finish up a project.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Allow more playfulness. You might wonder
when enough is enough. Pressure builds
around your work or a routine. Clearly,
you might need to reorganize your plans.
Unexpected developments could make a
meeting quite different and exciting. Tonight: Time for fun.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH
Someone you look up to could be tossing
havoc into your path. Try to steer clear.
It appears as though everyone wants a
situation to tumble his or her way. You
could witness a bunch of controlling
people trying to control each other. Back
away with grace. Tonight: Close to home.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Keep
conversations moving. Explore why a
situation might not be working like you
would like it to. This situation could provoke your imagination, encouraging solutions. Push comes to shove with a demanding associate. Tonight: Catch up on
a friend’s weekend.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Rethink a personal matter. Your ability to
think through another person’s problem
is great for him or her, but can you do the
same for yourself? Don’t take a child’s or
new friend’s actions personally. Tonight:
Treat yourself well.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Your
spirit is hard to beat. You seem to be
able to deal with nearly anyone at any
time. Right now, that skill is good news,
because you might need it when dealing with a partner or loved one. Know
that no one can control you unless you
want them to! Think positive. Tonight:
All smiles.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HH Take
your time; take a deep breath and think
through a problem. You have a unique
ability to understand many dimensions.
You also might not want to enlighten
others just yet as to what you are perceiv-

ing. Tonight: Take some much-needed
personal time.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH
Allow more give-and-take between you
and another person. You have similar
goals but very different approaches. Understand what is going on with a loved
one or a friendship. Be careful with your
finances, especially if someone has an
agenda. Tonight: With friends.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Instead of pushing so much, work on being
a good receiver. An investment with real
estate might be a problem. Try to understand if you made a bad judgment call.
Don’t push too hard. The unexpected occurs when you least expect it. Tonight:
Burning the midnight oil.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH
Much could be going on that is uncomfortable and encourages you to detach.
You know better than anyone that you
don’t need to be in the middle of everything. You might want to rethink a situation that always seems to be unstable.
Tonight: Put on a great piece of music.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH
Someone comes forward and shares
a lot more of him- or herself. You want
to flow with this person, but you still
might not be sure. You might start veering off course. Perhaps questioning your
goals would be smart. Tonight: Talk over
dinner.

‘South Pacific’ opens tonight at CAC
by Madeline Carey
a&e Writer

Rogers and Hammerstein’s
award-winning musical
“South Pacific” will open 7:30
at the West Virginia University
Creative Arts Center.
The seven-time Tony
Award-winning show is stopping here in Morgantown on
its Off-Broadway 52-show tour
throughout the country.
When “South Pacific” made
its theatrical debut in 1949, it
was awarded the Pulitzer Prize
for Best Drama.
“South Pacific” tells the

story of two young military
couples who fall in love on a
tropical island during World
War II.
Part of the story focuses on
an American nurse at a U.S.
Naval base, who falls in love
with an expatriate French
plantation owner with a dark
past
However, when the duo allows prejudices and ignorance
to get in the way of their love, it
seems all might be lost.
The musical, which had its
revival debut in 2008, is based
on the Pulitzer Prize-winning
book, “Tales of the South Pa-

cific” by James Michener.
The show’s timeless struggle
paints a storyline even nonmusical lovers can enjoy.
“This is a timeless work of
art and, as ticket sales show,
one that our community is excited to see,” said Kristie Stewart-Gale, marketing and advising manager for WVU Arts and
Entertainment.
With a musical like “South
Pacific,” it is expected the
show will capture the attention
of the audience, and StewartGale said she believes it will.
“Not only is this production a full-scale national tour

that promises stellar entertainment, but it takes place in
a very poignant time in our nation’s history,” she said.
The show encompasses not
only a complex plot, but also
musical numbers such as “I’m
Gonna Wash That Man Right
Outta My Hair” and “Bali Ha’i.”
Tickets for the show are
$27 for WVU students, and
they can be purchased at the
Mountainlair or Creative Arts
Center box offices.
Tickets can also be bought
at any Ticketmaster outlet.

An adaptation of Rogers and Hammerstein’s ‘South Pacific,’ will open tonight at 7:30 p.m.

‘Broadway and Motown’ night narrows contestants to final three
by Ashley Hite
a&E Writer

Friday night’s elimination
round of West Virginia University’s Mountaineer Idol
narrowed the contestants
down to the final three.
The competition began at
6:30 p.m. in the Mountainlair
Ballrooms to a small crowd.
Sonja Wilson, Senior Program Administrator for the
Mountainlair. said she wasn’t
surprised by the size of the
crowd because the event began early die to the football
game against Syracuse.
“The crowd was low, but
I think it was because of the
game and the time change.
We’ve had a good turnout so
far,” she said.
The musical theme for the
evening was “Broadway and
Motown.” Each of the five contestants performed a song in
the two sub-rounds.
The five contestants for the
evening were Jilsel Harris,
Chelsea Malone, Ellis Lambert, Patrick Garcia and Alyssa
Fazzini.
Co-host Amanda Hughart
announced the silent auction
from last Friday’s round raised
$523 for the WVU Children’s
Hospital.

Wilson also announced
Mountaineer Idol had collected enough Coke cans and
bottles for Coca-Cola to donate $1,000 to the WVU Children’s Hospital. The program
also collected more than 300
stuffed animals for Jessi’s Pals.
The first round of the evening was “Broadway,” which
gave the participants an opportunity to try out their favorite Broadway songs on
stage.
The second round was
“Motown.”
Contestant Ellis Lambert and Patrick Garcia both
performed “My Girl” by The
Temptations.
Harris once again amazed
the crowd with her powerful
vocals, singing “If I Were Your
Woman” by Gladys Night, and
Alyssa Fazzini gave another
passionate performance with
“Easy” by The Commodores.
The 2010 Mountaineer Idol
winner Hughart, performed “I
Dreamed a Dream” from “Les

Miserables” while the tabulator added up the final scores.
The night ended like all of
the rounds before it: Three
names were announced to
step forward.
These three contestants
would continue on to the final round, while the remaining contestants would sadly
go home.
In the final round Chelsea
Malone, Patrick Garcia, and
Ellis Lambert will compete for
the $1,000 top prize and the title of 2011 Mountaineer Idol.
Lambert, a junior business
management student , said he
was shocked but pleased to be
performing in the final round.
The second prize is $750
and the third place prize is
$250. All prizes are sponsored
by Coca-Cola.
The final competition will
be held in the Metropolitan
Theatre Sunday, Nov. 6, at 3
p.m.
Wilson said she was excited to see the students perform for the final time at such
a historic venue.
“I haven’t seen it yet, but
I hear it’s really beautiful so
I think it will be great for the
contestants,” Wilson said.

Dazed and ConCUSEd

brooke cassidy/the daily athenaeum

Junior cornerback Pat Miller stands outside the huddle in the game against Syracuse Friday night. The Orange upset the Mountaineers 49-23.

Syracuse defeated No. 24
West Virginia for the second
year in a row, dominating Friday night’s game 49-23.
The Orange had their way
with the Mountaineers from
start to finish, controlling the
clock and using their power
backs and efficient passing offense to outplay WVU.
“They were very successful
on first down, running the football,” said West Virginia defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel.
“They executed just the way
they wanted to do it. We have to
get better.”
Syracuse outgained the
Mountaineers 194 to 70 on the
ground and converted 12 of 17
third-down conversions in the
game.
The Mountaineer defense
struggled to stop anything the
Orange threw at them. The Syracuse offense held the ball for

more than 35 minutes, while
WVU had the ball for just over
24 minutes.
Syracuse senior tight end
Nick Provo caught three touchdowns in the game and was
found wide-open on more than
one occasion. The last time an
opposing player caught that
many touchdowns against
WVU’s defense was in 2009
against Auburn, when Darvin
Adams caught three for the
Tigers.
“We had some missed assignments there, and we were
off on one of them,” Casteel
said. “Anytime the guy is wide
open, there’s probably a mistake
some place. We just didn’t handle things very well. We have to
learn from this.”
Early in the second quarter, a
field goal by the Mountaineers
cut the lead to four. But, the Orange drove down the field with
a 14-play, 80-yard drive that
ended with a quarterback run
up the middle by senior Ryan

Nassib to give ‘Cuse a 14-3 lead.
Junior quarterback Geno
Smith connected with redshirt
sophomore Stedman Bailey on
a 64-yard touchdown pass to
put WVU back in the game on
the next drive, but kicker Tyler
Bitancurt missed the extra point
and the Orange led 14-9.
Special teams continued to
hurt the Mountaineers. On the
next play, Syracuse kick returner
Dorian Graham brought back
the ensuing kickoff 98 yards to
give the Orange a commanding
lead, 21-9, with about five minutes remaining in the first half.
Smith finished the game with
338 yards, two touchdowns
and two interceptions. He was
sacked four times by the Syracuse defense and never seemed
to be able to get the offense in a
rhythm when it needed to make
a play.
“It’s been the same thing all
year,” said West Virginia head
coach Dana Holgorsen. “We
are not a very efficient football

team. We make some big plays,
but we’re not efficient. We knew
what they were getting into.”
WVU came out strong on
its opening drive of the second half with a 14 play, 57-yard
scoring drive. Junior running
back Shawne Alston ran it in
from inside the 1-yard line after converting a 1-yard fourth
down play, putting the Mountaineers within a touchdown,
21-16 with 10 minutes to go in
the third quarter.
Another long return on special teams for Syracuse put
them at midfield to start their
first drive of the second half.
Nassib completed a 29-yard
touchdown pass to senior tight
end David Stevens to answer the
Mountaineers’ drive and open
the lead back up 28-16.
The Orange scored touchdowns on four possessions
in the second half, putting
the game out of reach for any

The finger can be pointed
in a lot of different directions
following No. 24 West Virginia’s 49-23 loss at the hands of
Syracuse Friday night.
But the biggest thing that
stood out to me was the way
the Orange dominated WVU
in the trenches on both sides
of the ball.
Many people, myself included, thought the Mountaineer passing attack would
have a fairly easy time handling a Syracuse pass defense that came into the game
ranked near the worst in the
country.
At times, it was able to do
that. Receivers were constantly beating SU defensive
backs to their spots, and the
Mountaineers had a good
amount of success passing the
ball throughout the game.
Junior quarterback Geno
Smith threw for two touchdowns and 338 yards while
completing 24 of his 41 pass
attempts. While that’s not a
terrible game by any stretch
of the imagination, he was
forced to make a lot of bad
throws in the game.
Two of those bad throws
turned out to be Syracuse in-

terceptions, giving Smith five
picks in his last two games
against the Orange.
A lot of the troubles Smith –
and the Mountaineer offense
in general – had Friday night
was thanks in part to the way
the Orange’s defensive front
dominated the WVU offensive line.
“They blitz on almost every
snap. Even when they didn’t
blitz, their pass rush was better than our pass blocking,”
said WVU head coach Dana
Holgorsen. “That’s what really
exposed us ... They were just
beating us up.”
The Orange got to Smith at
will. It seemed like almost every other play, Chandler Jones
or another Syracuse pass
rusher got into the backfield
untouched, forcing Smith to
either throw the ball away,
make a bad throw or just take
a sack.
West Virginia allowed four
sacks against Syracuse. It was
the most of the season and the
first time a WVU quarterback
had been sacked that much
since Louisville got to Smith
four times last season.
It might sound obvious, but
in an offense like the Mountaineers have, a lot of the success will be determined by
how much time the quarterback has to sit in the pocket
and let receivers get open in
space.
On the other side, you had

Syracuse quarterback Ryan
Nassib.
Nassib, a junior who is notorious for being good at taking what a defense gives him
and taking advantage of their
mistakes, played great against
the Mountaineers.
He was surgical in his approach, completing 75 percent of his passes for 229 yards
and four touchdowns.
Much of his success was
thanks to the outstanding play
of his offensive line, as well as
the way the Orange were able
to mix its passing game with
the ground attack.
“We took a look at the LSU
film, and they kind of punched
(WVU) in the mouth,” said
Syracuse offensive lineman
Justin Pugh. “We just wanted
to go out there and make sure
we were physical up front.”
And the Orange were able
to do just what it wanted
against a WVU pass rush that
was coming into Friday’s
game with confidence.
After finishing with seven
sacks in its last two games,
the Mountaineers not only
weren’t able to sack Nassib the entire game, but they
didn’t make any tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
Friday obviously wasn’t
West Virginia’s night.
This game is a major setback considering what the

Coming off of its big win
against No. 1 Connecticut,
West Virginia head coach
Marlon LeBlanc emphasized
how important it was for his
team to come ready to play
against Providence Friday
night.
But the No. 14 Mountaineers fell to the Friars 2-1 on
Senior Night thanks to Providence forward Marc Cintron’s
first two goals of the season.
“We thought we could just
go out on the field and win,”
LeBlanc said. “That was a
complete opposite performance of what happened on
Tuesday night.”
The loss drops the Mountaineers to 8-6-1 overall and
4-2 in Big East Conference
play.
Cintron’s first goal came in
the 26th minute from 15 yards
out to give the Friars an early
1-0 lead.
A minute into the second
half, West Virginia got its
equalizer off the foot of senior Nick Claudio.
It was the Charleston,
W.Va., native’s first career
goal, and it came after junior
midfielder Uwem Etuk sent a
ball toward the center of the
field just in time for Claudio
to send it into the back of the
net.
The goal that early in the
second half was important
for a Mountaineer team that

Providence Friday.
was admittedly upset with
the way it had played in the
game’s first 45 minutes.
The two teams battled it out
for the rest of the second half,
with neither team able to take
advantage of an opportunity
to put any more points on the
board.
But then, with three minutes remaining in regulation,
Cintron struck again. His
game-winner from 25 yards
out off an assist from Fazal
Nabi found its way past a diving Justin Holmes to give the
Friars the lead for good.
“We didn’t execute the
gameplan, we didn’t follow
through on what we needed
to do,” LeBlanc said. “The
good that came out of the
UConn game, in terms of the

result, may not be so great in
the long run, due to the fact
we lost two players in that
game.
“We blew a very big opportunity on being on the top of
the league tonight. Collectively, it wasn’t good tonight.”
West Virginia outshot Providence 10-9, including Claudio’s two shots on goal.
Holmes finished the game
with three saves in between
the pipes for WVU.
The Mountaineers travel on
the road for six crucial points
in the Big East next week.
Their first road game will be
at Seton Hall on Wednesday night, followed by a road
game against Notre Dame.

Freshman forward Kate Schwindel dribbles the ball in a game earlier this month against St. John’s. Schwindel scored the game winning
goal in a 1-0 win against Pitt Friday night.

by robert kreis
sports writer

After a grueling non-conference schedule and a Big
East Conference schedule that
capped the season off with
three straight road games, the
No. 17 West Virginia women’s
soccer team sealed its fifth division title in school history
Friday, beating rival Pittsburgh
1-0.
“We had three on the road we
had to win, and that is not easy,”
said West Virginia head coach
Nikki Izzo-Brown. “If it was any
(other) team it would have been
special, but of course with the
Backyard Brawl, it makes it a little bit different.”
With a stern defense the
Mountaineers have exemplified all season and a rocket shot
from freshman Kate Schwindel
in the 50th minute, WVU was
able to scoot by Pittsburgh with

a win.
WVU finished the regular
season with a 14-4 record, including 10-1 in the Big East. The
10 Big East Conference games
the team won this season is
a school record and makes
WVU one of only four Big East
schools to ever post 10 wins in
conference play.
“(This) is a special team,”
Izzo-Brown said. “Special
teams do special things, and
this team made history.”
Schwindel’s goal came after
junior midfielder Bri Rodriguez
played a wide ball to the freshman forward who turned and
crushed the ball at the 25-yard
line, allowing it to soar into the
upper left corner.
The young freshman looks to
be a bright spot in the Mountaineers’ lineup for years to
come. Schwindel has racked up
at least one point in seven of her
last nine matches. She has been

particularly clutch in Big East
play, scoring five goals and tallying five assists.
WVU outshot the Panthers
18-16, led by Schwindel’s gamehigh six shots. Senior forward
Blake Miller tallied five shots in
the match.
With the victory, the Mountaineers posted their ninth
shutout of the season, due in
large part to the experienced
back line and exceptional play
from redshirt goalkeeper Sara
Keane.
“Shutouts are huge,” IzzoBrown said. “It just reflects
how hard the backline and Keane are working.”
West Virginia will start play
in the Big East Tournament on
Sunday, Oct. 30 against the winner of Seton Hall and St. John’s.
Seton Hall is the No. 4 seed
in the National Division, while
St. John’s is the No. 5 seed in
the American Division. The
Mountaineers played the Pirates and the Red Storm earlier this season. They did not
allow a goal in either game,
beating Seton Hall 4-0 and St.
John’s 3-0.
After losing three of their first
five games of the season, the
Mountaineers have won 12 of
their last 13 matches. With the
Pittsburgh win, West Virginia
earned its fifth division title and
the No. 1 seed in the American
Division for the Big East Tournament next week.
Izzo-Brown is proud of her
team’s efforts in winning the
Big East American Division, but
now turns her team’s focus to
defending its Big East Tournament Championship.
“When you win the (American Division), it really reflects
on the focus of every game,”
Izzo-Brown said. “But everybody wants the tournament.
“We want to win it at the end
of the year.”

The No. 2 West Virginia rifle team beat No. 6 Army in its first home match of the season. Junior Petra Zublasing shot a perfect 600
in the match.

by alex sims
sports writer

Junior Petra Zublasing’s
perfect score in air rifle led
No. 2 West Virginia to its third
win of the season and the
second-highest team score
in the nation this season.
In its first home match
of the year, WVU (3-0,
2-0) topped No. 6 Army
4,693-4,637.
West Virginia held the advantage in air rifle 2,3532,326 and in smallbore
2,329-2,311.
The 4,693 overall team
score posted by the Mountaineers is second to only
the 4,695 shot by TCU against
UTEP on Oct. 1.
“I really didn’t expect to
shoot this high this early in
the year,” said West Virginia
head coach Jon Hammond.
“I think we can shoot higher
scores, so we just want to
keep working. But it’s great
to see a score like that so
early.”
In the air rifle category,
Zublasing tied a WVU and
NCAA record, shooting six
straight 100-point rounds to
post a perfect 600.
This equates to a grueling 60 consecutive 10-point
shots.

Mountaineers had been doing up to this point in the season, but it won’t define them.
Or it shouldn’t at least, if

“She really had to work
pretty hard on her last three
or four shots,” Hammond
said. “I was a little tense
watching it at the end there,
and I’m sure everyone else
in here was too – never mind
the actual shooter on the
line.”
Former all-American
Nicco Campriani was the
last Mountaineer to complete
this daunting task.
He did it twice last season,
against Columbus State and
Alaska-Fairbanks, en route
to winning an individual air
rifle national championship.
Zublasing’s previous personal best was a 597, shot last
year against Akron in her debut for WVU.
“She’s a fighter, and she’s
a real competitor, too,” Hammond said. “And I’m sure
that was a boost for the rest
of the team to see a teammate
shoot a 600.”
The Italy native followed
up the perfect round with a
match-best 586 in smallbore
for an overall score of 1,186.
Redshirt freshman Thomas
Kyanko used a 583 in smallbore and a 586 in air rifle to
come in second place overall
with a score of 1,169.
The Wellsburg, W.Va., native finished just ahead of

teammate Justin Pentz, who
shot a 590 in air rifle on his
way to an 1,168, good for
third place overall.
Senior Kelly Buck led the
way for the Black Knights, finishing in fourth place overall,
shooting a score of 1,165.
Sophomore Richard Calvin
tied Pentz for second place
in air rifle with a 590 to finish
fifth overall.
Freshman Taylor Ciotola
was the fourth Mountaineer
to be counted for both scores,
finishing one point behind
Calvin with an 1,161.
Additionally senior Mike
Kulbacki was counted for
air rifle, shooting a 588, the
fourth best air rifle score of
the match.
Meelis Kiisk was counted
for smallbore and tied Buck
for third in with a 581.
Hammond was extremely
proud of how his team performed on Saturday, especially so early in the season.
“Obviously (Zublasing)
stood out, but everyone else
was just consistent,” Hammond said. “Everyone just
shot what they’re capable
of. It’s just really good to see
the stuff we’re working on is
coming off in matches.”

they can put it behind them
and move on to the next
week. That’s how you find out
what a team is really made of.
“It’s one of those games
that we, as a defense and also
as a team, are going to learn
from and bounce back,” said

senior defensive lineman Julian Miller. “Or we could let
it hurt us the rest of the season. We’re not going to keep
our heads down about one
game.”

Mountaineers.
“If we want to be a championship team, we can’t look
back,” said senior linebacker
Najee Goode. “We played the
worst game we could play …
In the future, we have to play
better.”
Syracuse senior quarterback Nassib completed 24 of 32

touchdowns, and senior running back Antwon Bailey ran
for 125 yards and a touchdown.
